Corona

Coronaoil on gessoed boardaprox 60x70mm

I felt like painting this on a virulent green background for some reason so I got out my tube of thalo green. One dab goes a long way...

I've been running low on my grind-yer-own flake white, so I had to make todays a small one! I liked the way the sun hit the bottle cap and the reflected green light. Long before I'd finished, the sun departed, so most of it was painted from memory.
